Thomas is Feelin Good

My name is Thomas I have had my 1st sale on eBay with a profit of $18.50 I feel pretty good, the weekly phone calls have kept me on track. I've also called the coaches and asked questions. The live chat has been very beneficial. Learning how to use key words, although I feel I have a long way to improve. Also, adding enough text in the description field to keep buyers interested. Use the coaches and all communication that is available. The more questions you ask the better. 2 I have sold a watch.

Thrive Learning Institute Helps Victor Succeed

I have had my 1st sale on eBay with a profit of 29.99. I feel great about Ebay and would have never of known where to start if it hadn't been for my coach Jonathan who helped me through this learning process, I still have a long ways to go and need to do some yard sales but, over all This has been a great experience for me and I plan on continuing to do even better.

My biggest struggle so far has been a lot of procrastinating, finally I can get done what I need to. I would recommend to talk with your coach #1 If you need the help get it, it always gives you a boost, a jump start when you talk with your coach. If you get stuck on one item they'll help to get you through it, your not going through this alone and that's what helps me. I am with Team 2 and selling Boots, Wine Rack, Vases, candle chandelier, Pants wrangler, and some new items to lists are Shoes fredrick, and more.

Wayne Appreciates Thrive Learning Institute

Charity got me started with the Lightwave Lister and research tools. I used the lister to put the leather jacket on eBay and she said it looked really good. Things are a little slow going, but I'm getting the hang of it. I've had to improve my typing, not expected. You really need to work on your vocabulary also. It helps that I've had customer service type work in the past, it makes this a breeze. Future students: Take a lot of notes. If you see or read something and it puts a little ? in your head, write it down and ask your coaches.

The coaches are a great help, but you have to ask the questions that are bugging you. So write them down. I have sold two knives that I drop shipped through DOBA. And I just sold a leather motorcycle jacket that I had in my closet. There is a lot of stuff available for use, all the research tools, it kind of overloads you if you're not careful.

Rhea Thanks Thrive For Thorough Curriculum

My name is Rhea and I have had 3 sales with a profit of $27. My coach has been very helpful in the marketing of the products and understanding how eBay works It has been a long time since I attended school and learning a new topic at my almost young age was a little intense at times. I have been frustrated with the amount of information provided and sometimes overwhelmed, but following each step has set me for success.

I look at unused and new items differently and I am learning what would sell on eBay. I have not been a big online shopper, so overcoming my bias to that was a small obstacle. When you feel the information is too much, walk away for a moment, get a tea or coffee or water; do another chore, fix some lunch, whatever, just something different than the lesson or eBay or anything on the computer. After a few moments you will look at an object in your environment and wonder if it would sell on eBay, and how much you could get for it. That is the time to go back to studies, you are now ready to absorb more information. Don't give up in the early stages, it is a lot of information, but it will start making sense as you follow the lessons.

When you have listed something, do not get frustrated if it doesn't sell. It is easy to get excited when you look at the number of people who have visited your listing and the number of people who may be watching the at closing it doesn't sell. This event can easily deflate your desire to proceed. Call your coach, discuss if there is anything to improve the listing, lower the price etc.

Re list the item, dive in an list a couple more and by the next closing, most if not all your listings will sell. I have been selling Family game and a Nintendo video game. It is a little overwhelming at first. The regulations and processes that eBay has developed to protect the buyer and seller are extensive and pretty thorough. Reading all the policies and procedures is a daunting task. Thank goodness for the summaries and step by step provided by Thrive's lessons and coaches.

Vicky Loves Personal Coaching

The coaches are great & help me a lot. How to post and estimate the right price for items starting is hard, when you understand them it's much easier. I have been selling mostly dolls and scarves.

William Has Excellent Experience

My overall experience was excellent. I found it quite easy to accomplish, especially with the help of my coach Preston. I built a blog so I did not find to many obstacles. I just followed my coaches instructions and all went well. Though if I had to choose one obstacle I would say finding a good theme can be quite tiresome. You need to be opened minded to suggestions especially if you already have an idea about internet marketing. Plus follow your coaches instructions and complete your homework it will make things much easier to accomplish.
